Seeing One

There is nothing absolute essence in man.
The human being is interpreted out across relations and relative positions.
Never. There is some unchanging essence deep.
Just a flux of passing, relative scenes can never be made a thought
If no essence is witnessing the passing.
Relative is just a mirage till you ground yourself in the essence.
so goes the talk two way
till now and on and on.
but it is an inseparable this-in-that-in-this;
not even ying-yang but something more integral;
janus-faced? but no. It is one complete whole
resisting all your dissections
If you talk of absolutism you are smuggling in relative flux
If you stress relative flux and net of relations
you presume something absolute to mean
and get what you mean
what you want to drive home.
You can call it a quantum whole.
see whichever you like
you only take your side
but it remains ever the complete whole
relative refers to absolute which refers to relative
which refers to absolute and ....
We are beings of partial view.
Can we ever become beholders of the whole?
